According to the Bluetooth website, the tablet is an Asus ME370T 7 inch tablet. That’s the same model number as the Nexus 7 tablet which launched in 2012.

But the new model is running software version JWR11, a build of Android which Google hasn’t yet released — and that’s probably Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Just about the only thing we know (almost) for certain is that the next version of Android will include a redesigned camera app which brings the menu buttons a little closer to the shutter button. Somehow I suspect there will be a few other changes though.

It’s likely that a next-generation Nexus 7 tablet will have a higher resolution display, a new processor, or some other hardware changes — the Hangouts promo video showed a model with a notification light. But since the tablet that just scored Bluetooth certification has the same model number as the 2012 version it’s likely it’s the same tablet — but running new software.

Sigh. More parroting of that stupid hangout video. That so-called “notification light” (which is actually the front camera) was almost certainly a special effected added in post. There are a ton of inconsistencies and mistakes in that video. It’s not Google teasing us; it’s an incompetant ad agency getting too trigger-happy with special effects.

Thanks for this comment… I can’t stand it when people go all crazy over fallacious hype.

Confusing. Bluetooth version 3? I was hoping that Android 4.3 would enable Bluetooth 4.0 (LE) on my Nexus 7. This would indicate that it’s not going to.

Not at all! Just a fan of a great device.

I’m having a hard time resisting the burning urge to pick up the Sero 7 Pro. The reviews are great for it and the price is beyond right.
